National Unemployment Picture Shows Mixed Results: U.S. Claims Rise, While Some States Experience Significant Changes
According to SheBoyGanpress, unemployment claims in Wisconsin went down a bit last week said the U.S. Department of Labor. Around 3,446 people applied for jobless benefits in the week ending May 4, compared to 3,471 the week before. This suggests things might be getting a bit better in the job market in Wisconsin.
But across the whole country, the news isn’t as good. The number of people filing for unemployment in the U.S. went up to 231,000 last week. That’s 22,000 more claims than the week before. Some states like Indiana saw a big increase in claims while others like the Virgin Islands saw a big drop.
